Two Visit Day

Today, Audrey, Gidget and family came to see the pups. We started the day with a visit this morning. Thank you for putting up with the cold and enjoying and socializing with the pups. It was great to see you and to see Gidget!

Simone came by this afternoon with Stephanie. As you know Simone has been doing therapy work with Dusty at Sick Kids Hospital as she did with her late Havanese. Stephanie is someone she has been visiting since she was 5 who has been in and out of Sick Kids.

We thank Simone for bringing her and for help socializing the pups. Here is the gallery from both the visits. I wish Danielle was able to meet her but she is in Sick Kids at the moment.

Here are a couple of videos with the crew:

Nathan Xpen Fun With Pups

Under the Blanket Fun

The pups as I type are now upstairs with Dennis. its too cold outside but they were awfully good outside earlier considering. I came in and got warm.

I am fighting a cold and would love to go to bed but life doesn't work that way. It's okay. I get puppy time!

Fun videos, bouncing all over the place like happy little pups! I cannot say enough about the good that Simone and Dusty do at Sick Kids. Wonderful! Stephanie must have enjoyed her visit yesterday.

Yes, Stephanie was born with her organs outside of her so she has had much time in the hospital. When Simone says Stephanie is her hero, I can understand why. She is a remarkable girl. Maybe Danielle and Stephanie can get together one day. There is strength in numbers. Simone is pretty remarkable as well and so is Dusty. Yesterday Dusty was very attentive to Stephanie as if she was a mom protecting and caring for her. It was interesting.

When I hear stories like Stephanie's, and Danielle's, it makes me realize how lucky we are to be healthy (even if some would say "relatively" healthy) compared to what some are going through. It is bad at any age but I have a hard time dealing with children's illness. And yet, sick children are so resilient and strong. I hope the two of them get to meet.

I hope so too. They have their good moments and bad. It is certainly something to learn about as they appear to be able to cope as maybe they don't know anything else but to do so.
